The Commonwealth of Buttcrackia is a huge, genial nation, remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 586 million Buttcrackians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Das HappyFunLand. The average income tax rate is 80.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Buttcrackian economy, worth 45.4 trillion thongs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Tourism. Average income is 77,531 thongs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Ersatz chicken has left the nation's citizens with a bad taste in their mouths, the best way to be heard in politics is to speak softly and carry a big comedy prop, the official Buttcrackian Phrase Book weighs as much as a small child, and cash-strapped junkies lick rabbits for a cheap high. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Buttcrackia's national animal is the Wolf Spider, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Buttcrackia is ranked 4,599^th in the world and 18^th in Edoca for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 11,862.9 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
